Droplets sliding on single and multiple vertical fibers
From microfluidics to fog-harvesting applications, tiny droplets are transported along various solid substrates including hairs, threads, grooves, and other light structures. Driven by gravity, a droplet sliding along a vertical fiber is a complex problem since it is losing volume and speed as it goes down. With the help of an original setup, we solve this problem by tracking in real-time droplet characteristics and dynamics. Single fibers as well as multiple fiber systems are studied to consid…

The victim numbers keep climbing in this #flooding event, geographically widespread across the Indian Ocean. Cyclones and monsoon have combined to affect the Indonesian Peninsula, Sumatra, and even Sri Lanka on the other side with torrential rains with single day values greater than the entire typical month. These are rare events becoming more common under

Toward Quantum-Enabled Biomarker Discovery: An Outlook from Q4Bio
We present a case study and forward-looking perspective on co-design for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, centered on the goal of empirical quantum advantage (EQA), which we define as a measurable performance gain using quantum hardware over state-of-the-art classical methods on the same task. Because classical algorithms continue to improve, the EQA crossover point is a moving target; nevertheless, we argue that a persistent advantage is possible for our application class even if the cross…

From empty to filled vortices in squeezed 39K Bose-Bose liquid drops
Using density functional theory, we have theoretically studied the formation and the stability of vortices in quantum liquid droplets composed of a mixture of hyperfine states of potassium. Following the experimental setup that produced quantum droplets for the first time, we work with squeezed drops that are compressed in one direction. By squeezing the drops even more, towards a quasi-two dimensional geometry, we study the minimum atom number able to show a stable vortex and obtain that this …
